Sunrise changes

Upheaval at Sunrise. More than that - Sunrise Cardiff and the whole Sunrise/Gracewell care home group has been taken over by the Care UK group.

Sunrise/Gracewell, based in the USA, has decided to concentrate activities there and are withdrawing from the UK.

The Care UK/Signature group has many homes in England (though none in Wales as far as we can see) and has been developing steadily over the past 15 years.

It seems very similar to Sunrise. There should not be major changes as we are being taken over lock, stock and barrel with all staff and Sara, the Sunrise Cardiff general manager, remaining in charge.

Knowing how takeovers sometimes result in changes it will be interesting to see the developments here; we will know by the end of the year when the new regime will be up and running. 

I hope all goes well. After two years I am very satisfied here and do not want to move.
